Notes:The "Rolled Edge" was a second attempt at producing the new Indian
Head Eagle, the first version (the "Wire Edge") being a failure because of
its poor stacking qualities. Unfortunately, the "Rolled Edge" didn't
fare much better; besides, the Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint,
John H. Landis, complained that the finish mimicked "coins that have been
sweated". Several mintage figures have been offered for the "Rolled
Edge", two of them official: Landis cites 31,550 and Mint Director Frank
Leach said 34,100. Irregardless of the correct amount, virtually all
were melted and the surviving population is estimated at approximately 50
coins.

Edge" Indian Head Eagle certified by PCGS is are two MS-67's.
